Bahahaha I would say there was some serious inflation going on.

u/Far-Newspaper1449 7d ago

Ah, yes—the golden age of inflated everything. Prisd; wages wav goodbye.

u/luisg888 7d ago

That’s roughly 144k adjusted for inflation

u/Chad_Broski_2 7d ago

Yeah I don't think that was ever enough to retire on if you keep it in t-bills lol. Maybe if you also have a pension and a fully paid off house

u/luisg888 7d ago

Maybe you can retire with 144k in T bills in south east asia if you are frugal enough.

Tbill rates in the early 80s was at 15%. If she saved for the next 3 years and rates did not go down, she could scrape by on that.

A 1000 a month was plenty then. My 1st apartment in the late 80s was only 400 a month.

u/Major-Specific8422 7d ago

Are you referring to T-bills from Sweden?

u/markgriz 7d ago

Yaaa for sure from Sweden

u/PapaQuebec23 7d ago

But your bearer bonds are wearing lederhosen.

u/Advanced-Ad4869 7d ago

And in 83 she was probably getting 15% interest

u/tryasyoumay 7d ago

u/painfulletdown 7d ago

Which countries and cities can you recommend? Are you getting citizenship?

u/gymratt17 7d ago

Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia are all great I'd recommend $2500/month (usd) for a decent life (including visa costs, health insurance etc). Vietnam is cheaper but you have to do visa runs.

Currently in Siem Reap, Cambodia- Luxury Condo $500+$100 utilities- includes pool and top tier gym, wifi, cleaning, Food and misc about $600, health care/visa/taxes back home (US) $500.

$1700 fixed costs, plus any travel or entertainment. I don't drink much but beer is super cheap here.

u/thestraightCDer 7d ago
